Description
A striking chestnut Sebring colt that was thought of highly by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr at the sales. She was also rated highly by our Racing Manager, David Mourad and well-regarded bloodstock agent Sheamus Mills.
Mick Price (trainers) comments: From Melbourne Premier a lovely Sebring colt. Big strong just like his Dad was. He is a forward horse as I know these guy on the farm. He works and eats, works and eats. Good trainers horse and a perfect owners horse. I think he is going to race on through his 2yo year and into his 3yo year. Just like the pedigree suggests, he is going to be a beautiful tough racehorse.

WE NEED RIVALRIES, TRIBALISATION AND PLAYERS TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS
Rugby League’s showpiece and biggest success in the sport’s history is the State of Origin that is built on a battleground mentality of ‘mate against mate’ and ‘state versus state’.
AFL, NRL, football (soccer) and The Ashes are all built on the passion for one’s team or nation against the other who supporters have some hatred for.
It drives competition and instils passion into the sport.
Racing needs more Joe Pride’s, a man who speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to stir the pot all in the name of sparking interest in the sport.
When Nature Strip is in this mood, there isn’t a sprinter in the world that can match him.
Nature Strip was at his arrogant, explosive best in the Group 1 $2.5 million TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick – and was compelling to watch.
It is the enigma that is Nature Strip that makes him so exciting.
He has often been maligned, even ridiculed – but then he reminds everyone of his extraordinary sprinting talent.
This was Nature Strip at his commanding best – and he didn’t have to be the “control freak” by leading to win.
Eduardo, his main rival, came out of the barriers brilliantly and crossed Nature Strip within the first 100m.
